aiticleonTnatloii of Church I'ropcrty"
in the Sunday morning's issue. When
we took the ground that church prop
erty should not bo taxed, we meant the
property used by religious organizations
for the purposes of religious worship,
solely. A church society that owns real es
tate which it leases for business purpose,
or on which it builds houses tor rent, or
a church society owulng a church edi
fice having connected with it rooms
leased for buslaess purposes should be
taxed proportionately to the value of all
itch property It should be entitled to
no exemption because its ownership is
vested in an ecclesiastical society.

Ill looklngover our exchanges yesterday
our eye fell on tho Egyptian Prtn. The

The words, "Krwiu vs. Oberly"
headed an article ou tho fourth col
umn ot the llrst page. Wo wondered
what they meant. Wo had heard of
Oberly, but Krwln? Krwln? who was
Krwiu? Who thed 1 was Krwln? Krwln
vs. Oberly r Oberly is a rather familiar
looking name In print. We have seen it
a thousand times, more or less, in the
newspapers. Wo cau't say that "none
name him but to praise." Ou tho con
trary, quite the reverse. Oberly is this,
that and the other thing. Oberly Is a
clever fellow. Oberly has a vaulting am
bition. Oberly is a talented gentleman.
Oberly Is a blatherskite. Oberly wants to
go tocongrosi (and, by tho way, Oberly
is In Washington now.) Oberly is an
able man. Oberly is no Democrat. Oberly
is a Democrat. Oberly is a schemer. And
so ou, ad Inllnltum. We know all about
Obei'lv.."'1-"' "' ri"iitTiomw uiu
noli knows nil about hliu, too. What one
don't know, the other does. Hut we were
nen-pltuscd when it came to Krwiu. Wo
ransacked our momory kiiu nuicu to un
cover the slightest recollection of any
body lj the name of Krwln. Wc laid
asMe our pen and leaned back in our
editorial chair and mused, and thought
over all the pooplu we had ever known
from childhood's sunny hours up to date,
lour o'clock In the afternoon of the 'J 1st
of December, 1S75. 'Twas useless. No
Krwln inaterallzcd to our mind's eye.
We turned to the Egyptian Prtu and
finding the article "Krwiu vs. Oberly,"
wo read : ,
".Mil, Joiix U.OiiKi(t.Y-DearSir: Your
deliberate and norslstent defamation of
our comity Is sutllelent excuse for this
rcuitauon."
Wo counted the columns ; one, two,
three, our, iivk columns. "This refuta
tion" occupied live column of the
Press. We threw the paper aMile.
We really could not read "this refuta
tion." Life U too short. Wo liavo or
dered the article to be made luto a scrap
book and directed it to be burled with us.
nnd mavliap, some tinio in the distant
'blue beyond" wc may catch a couple of
weeks to devoto to the reading of "this
refutation." We can't read It now, if we
never find out who Krwiu is.

kindly toward the West in the appoint
ment of the chairmanships. Col. Mor
rison of Illinois is chairman of the com
mittee on ways and means. The lead
ing position of tuo committee on Paclllc
railroad goes to Lamar of Mississippi
who, along with a majority of the com
mitee, is la favor of the llolmau resolu
tion against subsides and la favor of a
proper Texas Pacific guaranty bill ; that
of war claims goes to Eden of Illinois;
mm oi Do-omce auu post awards
to Clark ot illtsourl ; that ,'of manufac

head otthe committee on commerce, with
a body of Intelligent Western aud
Southern men behind him ; Ohio gets
the committee on military affairs for

and Inflexibly honest man, is placed at

barbarism which still flourishes in many
of the towns aud rural districts of the
West. The parties to the suit are John
M. lewder, of Lowder township, San
gamon county, and Mr. L. it. Smith, the
principal ot the public school at that
point, between Auburn and Waverly.
Mr. Smith was married on the 10th Inst.,
and upon his return from a brief bridal
tour, the young men or Lowder planned
to charivari the happy couple, aud learn
ing of their Intention, Mr. Smith prepared
somewhat to entertain his guests, and
among outer things, had a small
quantity oi liquor, which, after
diluting uutll It could scarcely be recog
nized by a revesae officer, offered
it to Ma guests. For this act Maloney
swore out a warrant before a Justice,
charging Mr. Smith with giving liquor
io a minor, contrary Jo Uiu . statute, and
that geuUemaii was rrUK being com

ally enough tho niiotiiKvment of the
standing committees of tliu House us se
lected by Mr. Kerr, has been tho absorb
ing theme of conversation aud comment
among congressmen nnd others this af
ternoon the more so because in a num
ber of cases tho result has proved very
widely at varlaneo with previous conjec
ture, and a corresponding degreo ot dis
appointment has of necessity ensued. It
is plain, Indeed, that tho appointments
are received with more than ordinary
dissatisfaction,
Tho selection of Mr. Moirliou as chair
man of the ways and means committee
gives great offence to the friends of Wood
and Cox, though for the most part highly
acceptable In Itself to the Western mem
bers. It assures tho ltadlcal leadership
of the Houso to Mr. Kaudall, who has
not been involved lu liny of the squabbles
or at all mixed up lit Uiu scramble for

Taken as a whole, Mr. Kerr organi
